The Big Dark by Rodman Philbrick - ADVISABLE

On New Years Eve, a strange electrical phenomenon sends out
an electromagnetic pulse that shuts down everything in the entire world.In a small North American town high on an
isolated mountain road, the people try to help each other and keep things
together.But a survivalist group in the
area has other ideas.Charlie Cobb, his
sister, and his mother want nothing to do with the survivalists, but Charlie’s
mom is running out of her diabetes medication.In a desperate bid to find help, Charlie takes off on an impossible
journey to find anyone who can help his mother and his town.

The moon being pushed out of orbit, gas supplies running out
worldwide or other natural disasters, stories of people, especially teens
surviving the end of the world as we know it are still big sellers.I love having a variety of these kinds of
stories to share with my students.
